also basically everything but the actual jump relies on human anatomy, you use the staves to push yourself forward and depending on the style of skiing you also use the skis the same way you would iceskates or rollerblades.
Eeeeh almost, most germanic languages have a very similar word but "church" is only "kirk" in some specific areas.
The actual root would be kirikā from proto-west germanic.
In modern swedish it's "kyrka", pronounced roughly /shir-ka/
are you.. doing alright? you're not making much sense
double guess who invented spreadsheets and why
i'm working on it give me a minute
are you sure that means the same thing? i'm pretty sure in britain "private school" actually means a school run by the state, which americans would much more sensibly call a public school.
in swedish it's "indian" for native north american, and "indier" for someone from india.
I feel like one could come up with a similar distinction in english but the best i can come up with is "indie" which is unfortunately already taken and slightly sounds like a slur when used for an ethnic group.
also free advertising, having shitheads publish videos of themselves turning red from talking about your game makes the kind of person who frequents 196 go "lmao based let's buy the game out of spite"
at least we have trains if you live near a sufficiently large city, otherwise enjoy the 4 hour bus ride
OP is saying "I argue with people john brown would have shot", with the implied continuation of "even though i know i shouldn't"
meanwhile in sweden: "sorry folks we have to wait for the express train to pass us"
I LOVE TURNING EVERY SINGLE RAILWAY INTO A HIGH SPEED RAILWAY AND LEAVING LOCAL SERVICES TO ROT, YAAAAAAY
This is one of the things that makes me fucking adore the Temeraire series: the protagonist has a father who is staunchly abolitionist and yet the protagonist himself doesn't really think about it at all, until quite a bit later in the series when he starts realizing that slavery isn't just some theoretical thing in "the colonies".
Meanwhile the dragon protagonist goes "um, isn't that absolutely horrifying? am i missing something here??" when he learns about the existence of slavery, and this is absolutely pivotal to a lot of the plot in the later books!
